Roland-Garros is a tournament which stands out on the international sporting calendar, and is part of the heritage of its home country, France. Its legend began some 125 years ago… The story begins in 1891, with the creation of the “French Clay-Court Championships”. The late 1970s and early 1980s were a magical era for tennis in general and Roland-Garros in particular. Today, the tournament is fully deserving of its reputation as the world’s premier clay court event.
